My name is Katie. I am a 22-year-old, stay at home mommy to two of the most awesome kids I have ever met. I'm what some people would call "crunchy". I am obsessed with breastfeeding, cloth diapers, babywearing, co-sleeping, and making my own baby food. I don't believe in circumcision or letting baby cry-it-out. I'm not saying these things are wrong, just that they aren't for us. Now here is a little bit about the people that make my world go 'round:
Jesse - This is my wonderful husband. We were married on February 11, 2008 after we found out I was pregnant. We were right in the middle of planning our wedding, but decided to go ahead and get married anyway so I could be on his insurance. We had our wedding on May 24, 2008. It was small, but perfect. He has been there for me through some difficult times and I am so lucky to have him.
Avalyn - My little princess that is 2 years old. October 8, 2008 was the day my wonderful new life started. This was when I first became a mom. There is nothing more wonderful or terrifying than realizing you are officially 100% responsible for another human being. When she was born she was a very small baby. She was full-term, but weighed just 5 pounds, 6 ounces. She was the most amazing little thing I had ever seen. From the very beginning she was just full of personality, she knew exactly what she wanted and had no problem letting you know if she was unhappy. She's still like that, just a lot more vocal. She is probably one of the best big sisters I have ever seen, too. She loves her little brother so much. She shares toys with him, brings him the bink when he's grumpy, and will sometimes just give him random hugs and kisses.
Atticus - Oh, my little man. He is 8 months old now. Time flies so fast. He was born April 27, 2010. The first thing the doctor said when he pulled him out was "Oh wow! He's a BIG boy!" and well... he still is. At 8 months he weighs only 5 pounds less than his big sister and is wearing 12 month clothes. He's just now starting to crawl, but sometimes he'll look like he's just going to stand right up and start running. He's goofy, affectionate, happy, and pretty easy-going. I cannot wait to see what he is like when he's a little older. I hope he still loves his sister like he does now. His whole face lights up the second she gets close to him. I can already tell they're going to be great friends.
So that's everybody in our happy little family. I figured I would go ahead and introduce everybody since there will probably be a lot of entries about them. They are my inspiration, after-all. Here are some pictures so you can put a face to the names:
Cute family!
